Sarah decided it was time to let Gabrielle feed herself. So she gave her spaghetti, and a spoon.
And this is what she looked like immediately before being popped into the shower. The highchair was unavailable for comment.
The costume was so cute. I wish her eyes had been open in this photo.

She'd never seen a carpet this tickly before!

What a cutie! Camera shy? Not a bit.

Mommy and Baby. Aren't they cute?
Here she is, 30 days old. She's got Daddy's eyes.
She won't take a pacifier, but she'll suck my thumb.
